Safe Technology Ltd, in association with the Equity Engineering Group, presents a series of fatigue and durability seminars conducted by noted fatigue & durability authority and Safe Technology CEO, Professor John Draper. These seminars explore modern fatigue theory and the practical application of durability and weld fatigue methodology including an introduction to fe-safe and the Verity Structural Stress Method (Verity®SSM).

fe-safe is the technically advanced fatigue analysis software for FEA models and incorporates the most sophisticated fatigue analysis technology available in commercial software. As a result, fe-safe is changing the way design engineers perceive fatigue analysis software tools.
Verity® is the revolutionary structural stress method developed by Battelle for the fatigue of welded structures. Verity® has won several prestigious industry awards and was last year licensed exclusively to Safe Technology Ltd to create an add-on module in fe-safe for weld fatigue life prediction (Verity® in fe-safe). John Draper will give an overview of the method and show its advantages in terms of accuracy and ease of application. This course provides a unique opportunity for attendees to learn about the most powerful structural stress method developed to date for fatigue evaluation of welded structures.

Durability by Design - An introduction to fe-safe and Verity® in fe-safe
Date: Monday April 23
Venue: Ohio, USA

Overview: covers the problems that can now be solved using durability analysis software for FEA models. A technology update in key areas of fatigue analysis is provided: multiaxial fatigue, effects of temperature, notch sensitivity and residual stresses; Why traditional methods of metal fatigue analysis get it wrong; An introduction to modern methods of metal fatigue analysis and why they get it right; An introduction to Verity®; An introduction to using fe-safe and the Verity module with FEA software; A demo of fe-safe and Verity® in fe-safe

Overview: offers an introduction to modern theories of metal fatigue and their practical application through worked examples and interaction/discussion. There is a strong emphasis on what is possible and the pitfalls to avoid. A professional volume of course notes forms a self-contained reference book.
